The misadventures of two young gay men, trying to find a place to be alone, one night in Manhattan.

 

 

Gabriel, an office temp by day and aspiring Broadway composer by night, becomes smitten with Mark, a go-go dancer, in a gay bar with whom he makes eye contact. The two meet again in the subway that very night, and go back to Gabriel's place to have sex. They're thwarted in the attempt, however, first by Gabriel's aspiring actress friend Katherine, who is obsessed with her role in an adaptation of Salomé set in a women's prison, and then by Gabriel's roommate Rich, who returns home with his girlfriend Judy, with similar (and conflicting) plans for the apartment.

Gabriel and Rich argue over which of them should get to use the apartment that night, and decide to settle the matter with a coin toss. When Gabriel loses the coin toss and he and Mark have to leave, Gabriel seeks out his friend Perry to request the use of Perry's place. Unfortunately, as Perry escorts Gabriel and Mark there, they run into Perry's ex-boyfriend. Perry and his ex tearfully reconcile and they go back to Perry's, frustrating Gabriel and Mark yet again. The two then decide to hit a gay club for some dancing. There, a malicious drag queen, Miss Coco, corners Gabriel in the restroom. She badmouths Mark to Gabriel, telling him of the time they tricked – which sounds very much like how Gabriel and Mark met – and how Mark left abruptly after climaxing, leaving her with a fake phone number to boot. Crushed by this news, Gabriel decides to take off.

Mark follows Gabriel back to his and Rich's apartment to talk – and also because he's left his house keys there. They go in to look for the keys and try to talk things out while Judy mediates topless. Mark asserts that while he did indeed trick once with Miss Coco, it was actually the latter who tried to take advantage of him by secretly videotaping their encounter without Mark's consent. Gabriel accepts this story, but still doesn't trust Mark, so Mark angrily leaves. Judy then finds Mark's keys, and Gabriel chases after Mark with them down into the New York subway system. Just when it seems that Mark is gone forever, he reappears; he and Gabriel made a connection after all.

Having reconciled, they decide to get something to eat but – in yet another turn of events – run into Katherine and some of her theatre friends at a diner, where Katherine proceeds to monopolize the conversation. Gabriel finally blows up at her, and Katherine, humiliated, melts down and leaves in a huff. Gabriel chases after her and apologizes; they smooth things over and Katherine and her friends depart. As the new morning dawns, Mark gives Gabriel his phone number, they kiss, and Mark heads home. Gabriel calls the number on a nearby payphone, and is relieved to learn that it's Mark's actual number. While they never found a spot to trick, Mark and Gabriel instead formed a budding relationship beyond the simple one night stand they'd first been trying for.

U mom životu bilo je dosta momenata kada sam mislio da mi je život totalno promašen, beskoristan i da sve što radim nema nikakvog smisla. Danima bih listao profile po internetu ili tražio likove slične meni za međusobno pražnjenje nakon čega bih bio još beznadežniji, prazan i tup. Sat vremana samoprijekora i opet bih prešao na traženje novog noname mesa za seks.
Gadno je kada upadnete u tu fazu kada ispred vas promiču samo kite, a nigdje čovjeka ne vidite.
Srećom obično ne traju dugo i brzo se vratimo u normalu.
Ovaj film me podsjeća na to.

A Day in the Life of a Lost Boy (2004)
An attractive, talented young man can’t get through a day without sex and drugs, as much as he tries. On this day he does his best to stay focused and get his life together.

Manuel je usamljeni mladić koji pokušava da nađe društvo preko interneta. Upoznaje Hulia, nezaposlenog i neuglednog momka. Odlaze kod njega doma.  Početna strast i želja se pretvara u seks, a onda nastaje tajac. Znate onaj osjećaj kada vam se čini da je  neko od vas dvojice višak u krevetu. Ne zato što ne želite da zagrljeni zaspete pored njega , nego zbog straha od odbacivanja i povređivanja. Lakše je reći, bilo mi je lijepo sa tobom ali sutra idem na posao ili nešto slično, nego se otvoriti i reći nešto o sebi, nešto što će pokazati kakvi ste zaista, vaše želje i emocije. Previše smo puta bili povrijeđeni da bi pokazali sopstvenu slabost ali i muku što noći provodimo ili sami ili sa potpunim neznancima.

Da stvar bude teža pozvali ste nekog u kuću, a da ne znate ništa o njemu. Možda je običan lopov ili prevarant. Teško je biti usamljeni peder, a još teže usamljeni gej!

Film me je podsjetio na jednog prijatelja koji je prekinuo vezu prije pola godine. Pitao sam ga kako živi i da li se navikao na momački slobodnjački život? Rekao mi je nekako ovako: Trudim se, dajem sve od sebe, smijem se, pjevam, družim se sa ljudima ali ipak sam usamljen i teško mi je. Upoznao sam i neke nove ljude i imao seks sa većinom. Uostalom sada mi je sasvim sve jedno i može me imati ko god hoće. Na to sam mu odgovorio da to što ima seks sa nekim ne znači da ga taj može imati ni na koji način, osim fizički to vrijeme do svršavanja.  Nije vrijedno o tome govoriti na taj način jer seks je seks, a imati nekoga je nešto sasvim drugo.

Handsome middle class Manuel, hurt by his previous relationship and bored of being alone, meets Julio, a rugged, lonely, unemployed young man in a chat room. The two eventually meet up in person and the sexual spark is quickly ignited. And while sex is satisfying and frequent, it is their collective problems with intimacy, trust and the fear of being hurt that make them hesitant to commit fully. As their relationship develops, both reveal secrets from their past but these revelations might be real, imagined or outright lies. Who is being truthful, who is real, and who truly loves the other?
